cython: Cython (C-Extensions for Python) cython: cython: Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for the Python cython: language as easy as Python itself. Cython is based on the well-known cython: Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and cython: optimizations. cython: The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython cython: additionally supports calling C functions and declaring C types on cython: variables and class attributes. This allows the compiler to generate cython: very efficient C code from Cython code. cython: This makes Cython the ideal language for wrapping external C libs, cython: and for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code. cython: cython: Packaged by Georgi D.
